The UK news media frets over #AndyBurnham's choice of #Chancellor. Mostly #Miliband & #Mahmood, but also #Cooper & #Streeting.

#Burnham should reject all 4 big beasts.

They are dangerous. Too much clout. Not controllable.

Andy needs a weak chancellor, to weaken the Treasury as power shifts north. Like #JackChambers, who Micheál Martin appointed aged 33 as Ireland's Finance Minister. Energetic, disciplined, competent, & weak.

If you've heard of the new Chancellor, it's a bad choice.
